Perhaps those WHO get the most real benefit
out of Coney Island are the babies. They
are to be found there in great droves
with their nurses and their mothers, and
every one of the little ones who is big
enough has shovel and little bucket, and
they manage to move good deal Of sand in
the course of a day. There isn't the slightest
doubt that many youngster owes its life to
the breezes and the sand of Coney Island.
We haven't considered the race tracks, nor
the gambling, nor any of the "fast" or dis
agreeable features of Coney Islanl in these
brief paragraphs, nor do we need to. The
island would furnish an exception to all the
rest of the world if, where SO many people are
gathered together, no evil could be found.
That it is no exception goes without saving,
but it never lessons evil to dwell upon it, and

Echoes from the Press.

All for Patriotism and IA Free Pass.
What blessing it is that we live
in Vermont where no such vile meth
DDS are practiced as the following,
which we clip from the Examiner of
Bridgeport, Conn. ''Three or four
years ago Jay Gould testified before
legislative committee, that one of
his roads raised fund and distributed
it among the candidates of each Sem
atorial district in the State of New
York, most likely to succeed, regard
less of their politics. OF course
those who were elected were sold in
advance to the railroads, body and
soul, and voted as it dictated. And
the dupes who did the voting were all
the time imbued with most fervid con-
victions that there was an unreconcil-
able difference between Democracy
and Republicanism." The enthusiasts
tic support of our farmer legislators
who visit the capitol every two years,

out III his red bathing suit, SO
unique was he that the moment the crowd
had fully made him out-had sized up MS
makeup, to use bit of dang-he became a
capital subject for the mirth Of the multi
tude. Yet the throng was not boisterously
merry, for that would have frightened the
young man, he would have desisted from bis
fell purpose and the fun would have been
spoiled. As it was, it lasted an hour or more,
for the youths capers were as fantastic as his
brilliant suit, and he could not at any time
bring himself to immerse his person above
his knees.

Let the Public Know.

An operation lately performed in this
city set me to thinking about that system
which keeps from the public facts about
great surgical performances. Here was a
man whose subclavian artery was cut as
a last desperate resort. The operation
was a great one, but the world heard
nothing of it. Now, l wondered if my
profession is not going too far in its con-
cealment One of the blessedest things
in life is hope, and yet that is denied the
world in matters of disease, because the
public are not told of the great advance
ment in surgery and medicine. Only
once in while is the veil lifted for the
masses to look through the public press.
No line of human endeavor has shown
greater progress in the past twenty years
than surgery, and yet the world is just as
fearful as it was in 1860, for the simple
reason that it doesn't know what has
been done.-Physician in Globe-Demo-

A BOomlct that won't boom worth a

His own sweet scented, dear go
little ''Daisy" here, and the two dem
ocratic papers in the state-the Ar
gus and the "Defamer'- franti-
cally engaged, (for proper consider
alton OF course, in starting wee lit
tie gubernatorial boom for our own
especial pet, Levi Fuller. That
ends it, of course. The republican
newspapers and voters of the state,
all of whom, so far as we know, pre-
fer somebody else, may as well pass
in their chips and subside. Accord
ing to present appearances they
won't be permitted to have any say
about whom the party shall support
for governor-the democrats and the
"daisy" having fixed up that matter
between them just as they want it..
It's too bad, but we don't see how it
can be helped. The republican news
papers, all over the state, to be sure,
are making all sorts Of fun over this
abortive, ill-shaped, misbegotten, for
lorn little boomlet, and some of them
are so inconsiderate and unreasonable
as to insist that Levi must be made
to keep his solemn promises and to
tell the truth, which is something our
Levi, we are sorry to say, is not at all
accustomed to; and our republican
brothers of the press have no right to
insist upon such impossibilities.
When Levi secured his nomination
for lient-governor by pledging him
self in the most earnest and solemn
manner not to pop up as a candidate
for governor two years later, he didn't
mean it at all, not he. Why bless
your innocent, confiding souls, he
never means it, good brethren; anC
when you ask him to stand by his
pledged work, you are asking just
what our Levi never did do, anC
what he can't do to save his life. Ar
eel can't help being slippery-that''
the way he was built-neither cal
our Levi. So don't be too hard OF
him. Most of his old hackers, how
ever, through whom he made hi
pledges, having longer memories ant
livlier consciences, won't stand it

henchmen to nurse their own littl
sickly boom all alone by themselves
